Diary of a Broken Doll 1

A Tale of Drugs, Lust, and Betrayal

By: Tatum James

Narrated by: M. Breana

Wanna hear a tale about drugs, lust, and betrayal?

As far back as I can remember, I have felt like I was fighting - fighting for peace, fighting for love, fighting for a place to feel secure. There were nights when I couldn't sleep for hearing my mama and her man argue, curse, and physically fight. Nights where my nerves were racked, scared I would be awakened to my mother beating me about one thing or another. Years of feeling lashes of her belt across my back as she called me everything but her child. I felt everything but love. That's all I ever wanted.

The coming of age of a young girl, abused and abandoned by her mother and left to find her own way. Life may not start out all peaches and cream for Courtney, but with a little savvy and a lot of determination she might just turn it all around.

Join her on a journey from innocence to independence. Determined not to be consumed by life's struggles, Courtney learns to take advantage of the obstacles she faces. Will she self-destruct or burn bright?
